James Byron Dean (February 8, 1931 – September 30, 1955)
I’ll never forget you or that feeling I had the first time I watched one of your movies. For some reason you made me feel like it was okay to be young and a bit confused about my place in society and in this world. I’m only sorry that you had to die before you actually had a chance to grow as a man and to your full potential, perhaps for that reason you have managed to stay in everybody’s heart, forever young. Rest in James Byron Dean.
Happy Birthday!
